I mentioned a few things in the comments on the YouTube video. All the rooms you explored up to the 12:45 mark are what I consider the basic level rooms. That room at 12:45 is kind of a stepping stone to the next level which is probably 90 % of the whole game and where the puddings are distributed. Although it's not unknown for a pudding to be somewhere in the basic level of rooms.

The best strategy is to concentrate on replenishing your energy by hitting the correct things. Good things to eat are Dragonflies, Wasps, Birds, Bats etc. Then the bad things are balloons (as you said) and those oysters with legs. For example if you enter a room with all bad things then it's a good idea to go back and re-enter the room and hope for all good things to manifest. Especially in those rooms where there isn't much space to dodge the bad things!
